Abstract :
Today, modern ceramic products which are useful for modern industrial production are produced. The modern ceramic products have the potential for material alteration to steel and plastic. We propose potential manufacturing processes for creating a new environmentally conscious product which is made with the new ceramic material and we propose the industrial design of the new ceramic product (ceramic personal computer), which is made with the new ceramic material by the proposed manufacturing processes. We indicate the changes of product life cycle by the new environmentally conscious ceramics product from the point of view of design, manufacturing and recycling.
